In our daily life, we often see some plants, but we don’t know what they are, whether they are poisonous, or whether they are medicinal herbs? Many people don’t know these. Today we will learn about three common medicinal plants. Polygonum multiflorum: sweet, slightly bitter, and neutral in nature. It has the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the mind, dispelling wind and unblocking the meridians. Used for insomnia, frequent dreams, body pain due to blood deficiency, skin numbness, rheumatic pain, and itching due to rashes.

Albizzia julibrissin bark: sweet and neutral in nature and flavor. It has the functions of relieving depression, harmonizing blood, calming the mind, and eliminating carbuncles and swellings. It is effective in treating mental anxiety, depression, insomnia, scrofula, and fractures of tendons and bones.

Platycladus orientalis: It has the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the mind, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, and stopping sweating. It is used for deficiency of yin and blood, restlessness and insomnia, palpitations, dry intestines and constipation, and night sweats due to yin deficiency.

Types of hypnotic drugs There are many types of hypnotic drugs (more than 2,000 types have been synthesized so far), and they have a long history. As early as the last century, people used sleeping pills such as bromides and barbiturates. Because their hypnotic effects are not ideal, they have many side effects and are addictive, the above-mentioned types are now tending to be eliminated.

In 1952, someone modified the molecular structure of toluene propanol and synthesized meprobamate (Anning), which was once popular because of its good hypnotic effect. A few years later, the stability we are most familiar with came into being. Because of its reliable effect and minor side effects, Valium is used more and more widely and has become synonymous with sleeping pills.

The application of combining Chinese and Western medicine in sleeping. Patients with insomnia and sleep disorders who take tranquilizers can take pure Chinese herbal preparations such as Lily and Ziziphus jujuba seed capsules and Jiuwei Shen'an capsules to effectively improve sleep quality, effectively relieve symptoms such as nightmares, drowsiness, headaches, and unconsciousness, and also effectively help sleep. For some patients who have been taking chlordiazepoxide and diazepam tablets for a long time, they can combine diazepam with Jiuweishen'an capsules to improve physical quality and treat insomnia according to the length of treatment and sleep conditions.
